The Spirit Was Willing, But The Flash Was Weak

It was a flash memory problem.

Don't blame me for the bad pun--someone over at sci.space.policy came up with it.

Sigh. A flash memory problem. Nobody ever learns. We had the same problem with equipment on the MIR. The MIPS system, the central repository of US data aboard booted from a PCMCIA flash ram card. And, suprise, single event upsets degraded the software fairly quickly; it proved nearly useless. We ended up yanking one of them back -down- on the shuttle, refitting it with a PCMCIA hard drive and sent it back up. Worked fine then...

It's now looking more like a software problem.

The pun itself dates back to an attempt to photograph a ghost sometime in the late '30s.
